Powerchute appliance & VMWare VCSA will not communicate - Help!

[mikkydoos]

Hi all,

 

Hopefully someone has this working somewhere!

We've had loads of power outages and a sub station go bang recently, generators on the street, and its playing havoc with my hosts not shutting down cleanly - or starting up again!

 

 

I have a PCNS 4.2 virtual appliance that just will not talk nicely with vCenter or my (2) hosts.

 

PCNS logs seemingly state all is well .... this is after a reboot this morning ....

 

 

 

but VCenter says otherwise....

 

 

 

 

I've tried setting up a common user on vCenter, each host, and PCNS but I can't get them to play together.

At the moment I'm trying the single sign on account but I get the same error as I do with the common account.

 

I'm not using AD authentication in vCenter and don't particularly want to if I can avoid it.

 

 

Any idea's anyone ?? Hair is being yanked out by the fistful!

 

 

 

Cheers in advance
